Friday, June 14th:  Hello and TGIF! Lots happening around the Twin Cities this weekend to check out — looks like a beautiful weather weekend as well! The Stone Arch Festival is this weekend, Fri-Sun in Minneapolis along Main St. in Minneapolis and not far from there, Boom Island Festival is Sat-Sun. If you’re looking to cheer on the Twinkies, they’ve got a home- game stretch through next Wednesday and they are crushing it!

The crew is wrapping on door painting today and in the next 1-2 days they’ll be wrapping on your exteriors. We’ve also started to pressure wash the end of the building, garage, and office which we’ll begin prepping and painting on as the surfaces dry. Thanks!

Door Painting – Update

We’ll be tackling the 3945- 3rd floor doors starting on Monday, 6/3. We’ll be gaining access from your maintenance staff to paint the door in the open position. They’ll remain open for 4-5 hours, including the dry time. We’ll be sanding the doors, applying a cleaning solution, applying a primer coat, and finally 2 top coats— this thorough application process is why we’ll be needing the doors open for a few hours. Please direct any questions to the contacts at the bottom of this page- thanks!

We’ll be posting subsequent notices before painting on the remaining floors — 3945 2nd and 1st floors followed by the 3905 Building.

The crew on the 3905 Building is continuing to prep, prime, and paint along the first section of the building. Both crews are following the routes posted above as an fyi, thanks!

Today the 3945 crew is prepping and also spot priming select areas of the exterior while the 3905 Building will resume prep work tomorrow. We’re delivering product to the 3945 Building today and then the 3905 Building tomorrow. Then 3945 Building will begin their painting tomorrow. 

We have two different crews onsite which will allow us to complete both buildings simultaneously. We’re looking forward to seeing the updated color scheme on the exterior of the buildings. Also, the route for painting is the same as the pressure washing route — see the above map. We’ll do our best to update the progress of the crews, but you’ll also be able to see their location and when you can anticipate them on your section. Thanks!

We thought this was fitting as the season finale of Game of Thrones was last night we are unfortunately seeing unseasonable low temperatures!

The interior crew is taking care of the remaining lobby areas and will wrap up tomorrow. The exterior crew is in a holding pattern as the colors are being finalized and the weather cooperates. We need the temperature to be a bit warmer than this—shooting for this week to begin onthe 3945 Building.

We just love how light and bright the hallways look!

Tuesday, May 14th: Hello! 

We’d like to clarify our pressure washing schedule- we will be pressure washing and prepping and painting the 3945 Building in its entirety before we pressure wash and then prep/paint the 3905 Building. We are sorry for any of the confusion caused. This means if you’re in the 3905 Building, you may put your deck contents back onto your deck. We’ll be providing notice for when you’ll need to remove your items as we near that portion of the project. Thanks!

The crews are wrapping up on the interior areas of the 3945 and 3905 Buildings. And then we’ll begin pressure washing the decks and exterior of the 3945 Building starting tomorrow, 5/14. We’ll start at the SW corner of the Building, near unit 127 and make our way counter clockwise around the Building. 

Please remove all items from your decks for the pressure washing of the building and deck so our crew has unobstructed access. Thank you in advance for your cooperation! 

We anticipate the pressure washing to take about 4-6 working days to complete. We’ll then move onto pressure washing the 3905 Building. 

In regards to door painting, we appreciate those who have contacted us to schedule appointments- thank you! And a friendly reminder if you haven’t done so, to please make an appointment to have your door painted in the open position.

We’ll be awaiting color approval before we get rolling on your project at Talus! Thanks for patience and we’re looking forward to working with you!


Monday, April 22nd: Hello! 

It seems there is some color-debate about what we’ll be applying in your hallways on the walls and doors/frames. So today, we’ve applying some samples to residence alcove walls and doors on the 3rd floor of the 2945 Building. 

We’ll be onsite in full force tomorrow to begin your project. As stated earlier, we’ll be starting on the 3rd floor of the 3945 Building. Thanks so much for your patience as the details are being ironed out!

Paper, tape , and plastic to apply the color samples.

Thursday, April 18th: Good afternoon! 

Welcome to your project specific blog. Here, we’ll be posting updates regarding project progress, scheduling updates, any changes to the schedule if they arise, and then photos as well. Check back as we’ll be updating several times a week. 

Your painting project includes the prep and painting of several interior areas of the 3905/3945 Buildings. We’ll be finishing your common area, residence, elevator, and laundry doors/frames. We will also be prepping and painting your entry vestibule, stairwell lobbies, and stairwell walls. Included also are the 1st/2nd/3rd floor corridor and laundry room walls. 

The crew will be starting on the 3rd floor of the 3945 Building on Monday, 4/22. As we get going on the project and can gauge the crews’ pace we’ll post an estimated schedule of time to complete each floor. 

The painting of your resident doors will take place near the end of the project, as we’ll need cooperation from each homeowner to paint the doors in the open position. We’ll be providing further notice will specific information regarding the doors as that part of the project approaches. 

Thanks so much and we’re looking forward to getting things underway on Monday!
